while changing my oil, i was waiting for it to drain, just layin there, and i looked back and BAM....wtf subframe connectors!

Yes Sir! Those are a nice gift from Ford. I found out the same way, Lol. The Tokico shocks were a nice surprise too.

USMCrebel

yeah they were, but my elbow didnt like the suprise....what would be a nice up grade to get power to the pavement?

Lower Control Arms are supposed to be a good first step in suspension mods. I've heard Uppers are pointless.

I have heard replacing uppers is pointless for drag but good for road-corse.
btw our subframe connectors are crap. (at least ford teased us with them though)

i went reading on the control arms again, but i dont understand it ....break it down barney style for me.

Machmax777

in short they just controll axle movement. upgraded controll arms are usually stiffer, lighter and have better bushings

I wish I knew how exactly how they work myself. I know that once they are swapped, the car will cease all wheel hop and seems to transfer weight better. The rubber bushings are suppose to be more of a problem than the arm itself from what I understand. Poly bushings don'tgive anyand allow the axle to bind and start jumping. I know this much, that blue Z28 that I sent you a video of pulled 1.70 60 foot times on street tires. It had sphoon lowers, subframe connectors, panhard bar, crossmember, eibach springs, AGX adjustable shocks, and poly bushings. That thing would handle like it was on rails too. The front end would plow before the would rear swing out.

i might need to get some control arms at some point
